Q: can you give me some infomation on a asian lady beetle.

Ladybugs are a problem to homeowners when a change in season occurs. When the temperature drops in the autumn months ladybugs seek refuge anywhere that is warm, for instance, your home. Months later when spring rolls around these beetles sprout from the ground and look for the outside, often using your house as a detour. The Asian beauty will snuggle its way into the smallest of cracks in your home, especially on the southwest side, where it is bright, lighted, and warm. If they cannot navigate their way outside they will die in your home.
So what is the best way to prevent your house from becoming a tropical ladybug paradise, or for that matter, a beetle graveyard? Most experts, including the Department of Agriculture, recommend vacuuming or sweeping as the best measure against ladybugs. Though it requires constant upkeep this method is easy, inexpensive, and harmless to the condition of your house.

When they do, they will do more damage than Asian lady beetles and the Japanese beetle combined. The state agricultural department set traps in 14 apple orchards across the state, including in Racine County, to try to locate breeding populations.
